Performance Seating Three Innovations for Sitting Well We’ve been thinking about how to keep people comfortable at work for more than 60 years. We know that in order to deliver the best experience for people at work, a space and the products in it must support people as they think, move, and interact. That’s why we continue to build on what we know about the cognitive, physical, and social needs all people have. Every new discovery in health science, human behavior, and technology advances our thinking and our products. When it comes to seating, this journey has led us to develop three innovations...

Designed by Jerome Caruso Celle’s patented Cellular Suspension™ forms a “flex map” that conforms to your unique shape and stature, supporting your spine while giving you the freedom to move. PostureFit sacral support is designed into the back to maintain proper spinal alignment. As you lean back, Celle’s patented Harmonic Tilt prevents your lower back from pulling away from the backrest, keeping you balanced and supported as you move naturally through the chair’s 28-degree recline range.

Designed by Yves Béhar Inspired by suspension bridges—structures that deliver the most using the least material—Sayl’s 3D Intelligent Back lets you stretch and move, achieving a healthy balance between support and freedom. The elastomer strands vary in thickness and tension to provide greater support along the spine where you need it most— including integrated PostureFit support for the base of your spine— and less everywhere else so you are free to move. Sayl’s patented synchronous tilt adjusts to provide a balanced recline for anyone. ® Also shown: Tone™ Personal Light, pg 76; Formwork
